LOVING YOUR BAG

Caring for Wayuu mochila bags involves specific steps to maintain their vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and overall quality, as these bags are handcrafted with unique techniques by the Wayuu people of Colombia. Here's a general guide to washing, caring for, and grooming your Wayuu mochila.

⭐ WASHING:

- Clean carefully with a wet wipe: Use a wet wipe with cold water and mild soft detergent to clean your bag and protect their rhinestones, fibers and colors. DO NOT HAND WASH OR USE WASHING MACHINES

- Gentle Detergent: Opt for a gentle, non-bleach detergent to avoid damaging the bag's natural fibers and dye.

- No Scrubbing: Avoid scrubbing the bag harshly. Gently agitate the water with your hands to clean the bag or use a wet wipe.

- Rinse Thoroughly: Make sure all detergent is rinsed out of the bag by using plenty of clean, cold water.

⭐ DRYING:

- Air Dry: Lay the bag flat in a shaded area to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight when is wet, which can fade the colors over time. DO NOT USE AIR DRYER MACHINES

- Reshape While Damp: If the bag has lost its shape, gently reshape it while it’s still damp. You can stuff it with towels to help it retain its form.

⭐ GROOMING:

- Smooth Out Straps: Wayuu bag straps can sometimes become twisted or curled. Lay them flat or hang the bag to straighten them out naturally.

- Trim Loose Threads: If any threads become loose, carefully trim them with scissors. Avoid pulling on loose threads, as this can cause more unraveling.

⭐ GENERAL CARE:

- Avoid Heavy Items: To maintain the shape and structural integrity of your bag, avoid carrying heavy items that could stretch the fibers.

- Storage: Store your Wayuu bag in a cool, dry place. You can stuff it with acid-free tissue paper to help keep its shape.

- Rhinestones and Decorations: If your Wayuu Bag is decorated with rhinestones or crystals, do not scrub the bag or use washing machine, please remember those are handmade decorations and requires extra care.

⭐ STAIN REMOVAL:

- Spot Cleaning: Gently dab the stain with a damp cloth and mild detergent, but be careful not to rub too hard.

- Rinse: Rinse with a cloth dipped in water and let it air dry.
